The Montparnasse Tower might not the the prettiest thing on the Parisian skyline … but at least when your at the top of it, you don’t see it!
In this view, we’re looking at the Eiffel Tower with the modern skyscrapers of La Défense in the background.

If this person can get to space on spare change, then all the power to him. He could be the saviour of human space exploration.
I’m also sorry to hear aliens broke his space ship.
Spotted in Calgary in early June.

This is a mural of a historical Calgary Stampede at … the Victoria Park/Stampede LRT station in Calgary. We learned a few days ago that the self-style Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth will go on, in the face of a natural disaster of epic proportions.
One week to go before the whole things gets underway. For many, I’m sure it will be a welcome distraction for the unpleasantness in the news.

Calgary Transit workers remove debris from the LRT tunnel north of Victoria Park/Stampede station that was submerged to the ceiling during the height of the flooding.
Calgary Transit’s downtown infrastructure took it on the chin during the record flooding over the last week.
Here are some photos I snapped of the damage and of the work being done to get things moving again.
More work done near Victoria Park/Stampede station. And yes, those tracks are really suspended in mid-air!
Floodwaters carried away the ballast beneath the platform at Victoria Park/Stampede station.
Crews work to restore the Cemetery Hill tunnel, above and next two images.
Buses put into service as a C-Train shuttle roam on a very dusty Macleod Trail on June 25.

Looking north from the Westminster Bridge in London, with the London Eye on the right. This was taken moments after riding the Eye last October. If the weather’s right, this attraction offer a great view.

Wouldn’t you love to have dinner in a place like this? Well, this particular room is behind a velvet rope at the Louvre in Paris. So no, no eating here. Only a feast for your eyes. 😉
